I also have never cared for "Singer". when in high school, the year I was a freshman, they were all replaced with Vikings', When I got to college for Home Ec classes for degree, we had 10 singers and non of them worked, were replaced with different brands, Bernina, Phaff, Elna and Viking.
I presently own a Viking and Phaff and 2 Huskavana viking sergers. Was given a Elna when married 30+ years ago and it spent more time in the shop then on my kitchen table, so it lasted not quite a year in our house. My daughter won a Elna when in 4-H for top construction winner, and it too when out the door and I replaced with a Sears Kenmore which she just loves. I wouldn't own either a Singer or Elna.
